Indeed, Children should do what is asked only if it's preceded by the instruction "Simon says". There were different switches on the unit that could be set to change the games variations and difficulty settings. Simon could be a single or multi-player experience. In the multi-player game up to four players could take part. Each player would select a colour, then when Simon would initiate the sequence for that player, they would have to complete it correctly or face elimination.

In the 1960s, German refugee and former World War II Army intelligence officer Ralph Baer was a military engineering contractor who decided to moonlight as a video games pioneer. Baer visualized a system that could be connected to a television to play games on the screen. In 1971, Baer and his employer, Sanders Associates, filed for and later received the first-ever video game patent. The system would become the Magnavox Odyssey, which went on sale in 1972.Simon: 'The Electronic Game that Started it All' Turns 25" (Press release). Hasbro. February 10, 2003.

An asymmetric cooperative puzzle game, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, from 2015, as one of its puzzles, has a puzzle named "Simon Says", which is based on a concept of Simon (including 4 coloured buttons with flashes and sound), but with extra contrived rules required to make it not easy to solve without the help of other game players.

Simon's a computer, Simon has a brain, you either do what Simon says or else go down the drain (1994-1998) In our Online Simons, you can change the game's difficulty level thanks to the buttons located below the game. Simon is an electronic game of short-term memory skill invented by Ralph H. Baer and Howard J. Morrison, working for toy design firm Marvin Glass and Associates, [1] with software programming by Lenny Cope. The device creates a series of tones and lights and requires a user to repeat the sequence. If the user succeeds, the series becomes progressively longer and more complex. Once the user fails or the time limit runs out, the game is over. The original version was manufactured and distributed by Milton Bradley and later by Hasbro after it took over Milton Bradley. Much of the assembly language code was written by Charles Kapps, [ citation needed] who taught computer science at Temple University and also wrote one of the first books on the theory of computer programming. Simon was launched in 1978 at Studio 54 in New York City and was an immediate success, becoming a pop culture symbol of the 1970s and 1980s.

A Harry Potter wand released in 2001 called Harry Potter Magic Spell Challenge had Simon gameplay and voice commands: "Wingardium" (to tilt the wand down) and "Leviosa" (to tilt the wand up.). [17] In 2016, Hasbro launched the follow-up to Simon Swipe with Simon Air. The game was announced at a Hasbro press conference before the 2016 New York Toy Fair. This version of Simon uses motion sensors, similar to those in Mattel's Loopz line of games. The game has three game modes: "Solo", "Classic" and "Multiplayer". [9] A button-pressing version of Simon was also released in the US, with an aesthetic recalling that of the 1970s and 1980s models. Recently, Hasbro has released Simon Optix, a headset game with a motion sensor technology similar to Simon Air. In late 2020, the popular game Among Us featured a mini-game loosely based on the design of Simon. [18] However, most players mistakenly referred to it as "Simon Says." If the sound effects of the game bothers you, you can mute the sound thanks to the button located at the top right corner of the game.
